    Just got R4 for my 340i with the Sams club sale. Mounted it to the right of my mirror with direct connect into mirror. Just an FYI for anyone doing same setup as kern, the plug should be the one with the smallest pins (got mine off amazon). Just undo the black clip, the purple/pink one is pretty difficult to undo. And just slide your pins in and add lil zip tie to make sure they don't accidentally get pulled out. It will power on and off with the cars electronic system too.

    I purchased a R4 before the BT f/w update and even then it was the best detector I've owned. Once BT was enabled and used with the HR app, it's just insane! Using highway radar was nothing less than a full send. I've enjoyed using it and it paid for itself starting on the 2nd drive.

  • @hunterdavis4753
    @hunterdavis4753 Před 2 měsíci +3

    The R4 is actually very easily picked up by spectre 3 and elite. The dual LNA ( low noise amplifiers ) had alot of detect ability.
    Vortex radar did testing on this

    hey kevin, been watching your videos for a long time. I recently been having this issue with my car ('17 440i 6MT) where car cuts off power and goes back into it, like a sort of hiccup, It seemed like a fuel cut issue to me at first, and car is DP + Mhd stage 2, intake, thought it was my OEM fuel pump getting weak, then i noticed car did it stumbled up at idle as well, so I figured it just might be spark plugs. I replaced both, put TU pump in, replaced all 6 plugs NGK 94201 .24 gap, and car still does the same issue, I looked at gauges car has a torque and hp dip when it does that, and I data logged the car, since it doesn't pop up any CEL's or anything and engine seems to be healthy, just that it has hiccups. In the logs my car doing 235 AFR's and doing timing corrections on all 6 cylinders, I put the car on E40 (colorado's DA is bad and MHD pump gas tunes dont seem to be that good) on E40 car runs optimal AFR's but yet still doing the same issue with cyl. timing corrections. Do you have any idea what it could be, I'm running out of ideas, I'm thinking maybe O2 sensor or ignition coils, car has 82k miles. Big fan Kevin keep up the uploads.

    Got the r4 almost a year ago and it constantly saves me. Most of my tickets I wasnt intentionally speeding and got sick of my insurance rates getting screwed over tickets that weren't even 10 over.
    This thing has picked up police from over 2 miles away. I have zero buyers remorse.

    If you want performance of R3/4 and don’t need the GPS stuff the R1 is more affordable than both and works crazy good!

  • @zeitgeist888
    @zeitgeist888 Před 2 měsíci

    Uniden makes great detectors especially for the price. I have an R7 and probably will upgrade to an R8 in the next year when they go on sale. Regardless you still need a laser jammer as any laser warning is pretty much a notice that you are getting pulled over and getting cited if you were over the limit. ALP is the way to go if you can afford it. Together they are a great system for speed detection and ticket avoidance. I have both in my 340 and the ALP wasn't too hard to install if you take your time.

    • @DanielScariti
      @DanielScariti Před 2 měsíci

      The R4/R8 and compatible with Uniden's laser jammers which should be released standalone soon.

  • @johnmichigan6864
    @johnmichigan6864 Před 2 měsíci

    To me, the biggest advantage of the R4 over the R3 is that it has Bluetooth enabled. Although Uniden hasn't released an app for it, we can install third-party iOS/Android apps like Highway Radar, R4/R8 Companion, and V1 Driver to gain additional features like crowd-sourced alerts, heat maps showing which areas have heavy enforcement, and the ability to control radar detector settings directly from the app much faster than the radar detector menu. It's a game changer!

    The small, clear, sensor on top that you say is for rear detection (at 6:46) is incorrect. It is a laser sensor for detecting the presence of police laser guns.

      @@kern417 360° yes but still for laser detection only. Point being that Uniden (whose products I like very much) is somewhat vague and ambiguous in using their marketing term "Eagle Eye" plus they don't even use the word laser in their OM.

    The R3 is the best bang for the buck right now for radar detectors. Still high in the detection sensitivity and range leaderboard despite its age. R4 is marginally better and not worth upgrading to if the R3 already fits your needs.
    I suggest putting that toward an R7 or R8. I went from an R3 to a R7 a couple years now and the arrows are a real game changer. The R4 can be had for around the same price range as the R3 depending how good you are hunting for deals!
    Protip: no detector is airtight, need to pair with waze and common sense!

    I have a $70 radar from Amazon and it’s worked perfect for 4 years. I have buddies with the expensive few hundred dollar one and I always pick up the same signals at the same time. My radar has saved me many many times. Keep this in mind before you pay $300 for a radar.

    • @kern417
      @kern417  Před 2 měsíci

      This will pick up signals from farther away than any $70 detector while ignoring falses that will continue blaring on yours. This is about maximizing performance and features for the money.

    • @wzachery7220
      @wzachery7220 Před 2 měsíci

      @@kern417 just in my experience always cruising with my friend with his $400 radar passed down from his dad, I’ve always picked up the signals from the same distance which has been miles away before, my buddies brake lights go on the same time I get a signal. Only thing worth the money is not picking up annoying signals from semis, which use a different frequency so you know it’s not the police.

    • @wzachery7220
      @wzachery7220 Před 2 měsíci

      And even on my $70 radar you can silence the false signals.
